Jordan Hall

Jordan Hall is named after Francis Jordan, who was an early Penn State Trustee.

Jordan Hall, built in 1928, is a classic traditional residence hall. The ground floor and basement feature a living room, recreation/game room, study room, and laundry room. The building offers coed housing and bedrooms feature fixed and flexible furniture that allows students to arrange furniture in a room a few different ways. While this is a classic traditional hall, the bathrooms have been renovated and offer multiple private, single-user bathrooms located on the floor that are shared by all residents. Jordan Hall is located in the West Housing area near the Nittany Lion Shrine, Pattee and Paterno Library, Recreation Building (REC Hall), Blue and White Golf Courses, and Hepper Fitness Center.

Waring Commons supports students living in West Halls.
